We can spend $100,000,000 dollars and the untold large sums the military deployment in Hatti. but they have a hard time ensureing that we the tax payer are medically covered and that we will not be devistated by an illness.

We should start a nation wide movement to tell these politicians that they will lose their jobs for failing to act.

I have just received an email from Avaaz describing how the healthcare companies are trying to derail Obamas reforms (surprise, surprise). I wanted to share this story with you. Please pass it on.

Last year my 13 year old fell off his bike and landed on his face. He wasn’t wearing a helmet and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance. He was assessed straight away and was hooked up to a heart monitor. He was then taken for a CT scan to check he had no internal injuries. As a precaution he was kept in overnight and released the following day. 2 weeks later he was seen by a specialist to confirm there was no lasting damage. Guess how much all this cost us?

Yup, NOTHING! Not a bean.

We pay about 22% income tax and my wife and I together earn around £30000 a year.

Sure, the uk health service isn’t perfect, but I know that if I or one of my family are ill or injured we can get help straight away free of charge.
This could well be Americas last chance to reform this system within your lifetime. Please write to your political representitive and tell your friends.

Good luck.

I am a 59 year old man living in Portland, Oregon. I work as an independent contractor, and an adjunct professor. The only way my wife and I can possibly afford health care for us both is through her employer. Our policy is adequate. However, my wife would like to change jobs because the physical demands of her present employment are straining her health. Ironically, this means she must find a job that has health insurance. Jobs are tough to find and those with a good health care plan are even tougher. I find it ridiculous that she must sacrifice her health to keep health insurance. In addition, our son has just turned 21 and no longer has health insurance. Since he is not a student I cannot afford to pay for his health insurance. If something were to happen to him it would financially wipe us out.

President Obama, you promised REAL change and TRUE health care reform. It is time that you use the public mandate given to you by the election and fulfill those promises. DEMAND A PUBLIC OPTION THAT DOES NOT COMPROMISE OR SURRENDER TO THE HEALTH INSURANCE AND BIG PHARMA INDUSTRIES!!

We have your back, Mr. President. The American people are behind you on this.

Sincerely,

Shelly Lipkin

I am a teacher and It makes me sick to see students with rotten teeth, illnesses that last forever because they can’t afford a doctor. It s a real shame for a country as great as us to neglect its citizens so badly.

It is too bad that all the congressmen are rich and do not realize the problems of people who don’t make so much.

HR676 everywhere!!!
